Comment on Supreme Court Strikes Down Defense of Marriage Actparent

Comments

Yeah, from the perspective of the U.S.'s federal structure it's difficult to conclude there's standing for federal courts here.

Given that the 9th court concluded that there was standing, and 4 out of 9 on the Supreme Court did likewise, I believe that you are significantly overestimating the difficulty of coming to that conclusion.

It is true that the court as a whole decided against standing existing. But several of the most important judges in the country heard the facts, knew the law, and concluded that standing did exist.
